Minnesota Elopement Photographer
Planning and capturing elopements that embrace flexibility, so you can spend your day relaxing and exploring what feels right in the moment.
What would your day look like without a minute-by-minute schedule?
The most beautiful moments? They never happen on schedule. You want your day to unfold slowly, like it was meant to. This is one of the times in your life where you’re allowed to slow down, be grounded and take it all in. Take this opportunity.
And seriously, why rush through the best day of your life? It’s honestly crazy that we’ve normalized a jam-packed wedding day that doesn’t allow us a moment to ourselves, a moment to celebrate in private.
Welcome to Nuku Vang Photography
You want a day that doesn’t run on a schedule, but on feeling:
Let’s clear up a few things.
- Wedding days should follow a traditional timeline.
Truth: Your wedding day doesn’t need to mimic a checklist or follow what someone else has already done. When you let go of the “shoulds,” you make space for what really matters.
- Planning an elopement schedule is a complicated process.
Truth: You don’t need to do this alone, become a planning expert, or spend hours researching. With the right guide (hi, it’s me!), planning becomes easy and enjoyable.
- If we don’t have a packed schedule, we’re wasting away the day.
Truth: The most meaningful day is a day that flows with you. In fact, the most powerful, memorable moments often happen in the quiet in-between. You can have structure and space to breathe.
